Crisis Management

BLOCK ENGINEERINGLaserWarn PLUSBooth 5 D 068USA

Description: The new LaserWarn is the only eye-safe, laser-based standoff detection product that can detect and identify multiple threats at a distance. One of the biggest drawbacks of CBRNE detection is that most technologies require a person in a suit with a handheld device approaching the possible threat. The LaserWarn product line can detect these threats in real time up to 300m away without putting personnel in danger. Advanced artificial intelligence permits simultaneous detection of most CWAs & toxic industrial chemicals today, and explosives detection in the near future. The new user interface provides red/green simplicity & sophisticated functionality. It can be deployed to protect large areas up to 90,000 sq.m or 300m of fenceline. It enhances security at government buildings, military bases, airports, metro stations, embassies, and sports stadiums. We are also seeing rapid growth in environmental safety for chemical plants, oil & gas refineries and pipelines, and fuel storage depots. The LaserWarn PLUS via US Government programs has been demonstrated to detect residual fingerprints and other traces on vehicles at standoff distances from up to 30 meters.

NUVIANuVISION, the last generation of gamma imagerBooth 5 R 070France

Description: The threat of a dirty bomb is real - how can it be detected from a distance in a crowd to avoid the worst? This is one of the application of NuVISION, the latest generation of gamma cameras designed to reinforce existing detection architectures (radiological control gates, backpacks, RIIDs, ratemeters…). This joint and disruptive development of NUVIA with the CEA lead to the only solution currently available in the market to locate and identify a radiological hazard at a distance and in full movement. It is a complete, portative and sensitive system that enables to detect as well as measure a H*(10) dose rate, to locate hot spots and to identify radioisotopes. For instance, NuVISION can spot the holder of dangerous material in the middle of a crowd of people (in airports, during events and major gatherings…), while making the difference between people who just went through medical exams, and people who are potentially dangerous carriers. It is also able to locate and identify illicit radioactive substances at a distance inside vehicles, without having to undertake manual controls, and therefore without setting off alarms should NORM materials be detected.

Description: In case of a chemical contamination (on the national territory of for deployed forces) involving contaminated victims in life threatening emergency, it is sometimes necessary to extract them to a hospital. The question to be solved is how to carry easily a contaminated victim without contaminating the vehicle used nor the medical staff. There is no appropriate product on the market easy to be deployed without any maintenance. The CBRN extraction bag has been specially designed for the transport of CBRN contaminated casualties, or anyone potentially contaminated, directly from the field to the hospital or first medical point, while allowing the realization of emergency medical procedures during the transport. It ensures containment of liquid and vapor contaminants, to avoid contamination of medical team, transport personnel, vehicle or aircraft used to extract the victim. The extraction bag also ensures self-decontamination of the victim inside the bag thanks to two technologies which reduces liquid and vapor contamination level inside the bag. Main relevant features and advantages of the product are: fast and easy deployment, small footprint, no maintenance, no consumables, contamination containment, ensures self-decontamination of the victim, enables emergency medical care during the transport (access to victim’s respiratory tract, emergency access to the victim for stabilization, perfusion cable pathways, clear window to monitor the victim’s progress…), lightweight, decontaminable, compatible with all types of vehicles, stretcher and compatible with scanner.

Cybersecurity

BE STRATEGIC SOLUTIONS (BEST)Be Strategic: BeSTBooth 5 C 030Israel

Description: Be Strategic (BeST), established 2018, was born from the universal need for a web-based solution that could preemptively prepare organizations to handle various forms of crisis. The solution optimizes procedures and leverages them to create customized crisis management simulations, allowing organizations to practice managing crises according to their own methodologies. The software has been used to help organizations prepare for a wide range of crises including natural disasters, man-made disasters, physical security threats and cyber security threats. BeST produces graphical representations of management processes, including decision-making trees, pressure points, personnel’s state of mind and the “MVPs”. BeST’s analytics can be integrated into real applications (like command and control centers) to measure real performance in real-time and assess alignment with regulatory stipulations (when desired).

Description: FortifyIQ - A pre-silicon hardware design evaluation and protection software suite to fortify secure chips against power consumption- based side-channel attacks. Side-channel attack on the microchip’s secure element can disable the lights in the whole city, turn off or accelerate trains, or disrupt any of its critical infrastructure. This threat vector is relatively new and more dangerous, as the attacks increasingly target the hardware layer, as opposed to the better-protected software and network layers. These side-channel attacks include Differential Power Analysis (DPA), Simple Power Analysis (SPA), Electromagnetic Emissions (EME), and Fault Injection (FI). FortifyIQ offers a pre-silicon hardware design evaluation and protection software suite and side-channel attack-resistant IP Cores. We advance maximum security against side-channel attacks at design stage, making protection less expensive, and, therefore, easier to build. According to Professor Adi Shamir, PhD., The ‘S’ in RSA and the Turing Prize Winner, “FortifyIQ’s solution has the potential of dramatically reducing the cost and delay associated with the manufacturing of DPA- protected devices...” Dr. Shamir ascertains that “This is an innovative solution to a really important problem, produced by a first-rate team of developers.”

Description: The recent proliferation of drones has contributed to the emergence of new threats in security applications. Because of their great agility, small size and cost effectiveness, UAS can be used for numerous missions and are very challenging to detect. Radar technology with its all-weather capability can play an important role in detecting UAS based threats and in protecting critical assets. However, to be successful, radars have to quickly scan large volumes with great sensibility, eliminate nuisance alarms from birds and discriminate UAS from ground targets. The FLIR Ranger R8SS-3D C-UAS radar can detect, extract and classify UAS threats in order to provide security team early and relevant warning to counter such threats. The detection performed by the radar is physical based on motion and not dependent of any drone protocol communication which will be more and more difficult to analyse with the coming new 5G mobile communication network. With its advanced algorithms for constant alarm rate detection, multi-target tracking and micro doppler classification, the FLIR R8SS-3D offers best in class performances regarding performances prices. A deep learning approach is currently being investigated in order to further improve performance beyond levels currently possible with classic machine learning schemes.

TAR IDEAL CONCEPTS LTD.Skylock SystemsBooth 5 D 085Israel

Description: SKYLOCK, part of the Avnon Group has developed a revolutionary countermeasure: Drone against drone is the most innovative solution in the anti-drone field today. The small, fast-flying and easy maneuverable drone is highly responsive, quickly intercepting hostile drones and removing their threat. Once an unauthorized drone is detected by radar, the intercepting drone deploys towards the moving target. Using multiple built-in sensors on approach, the drone tracks the moving target, locking onto it and disabling it by collision. Skylock’s drone against drone solution is mil-standard. The built in sensors provide higher accuracy and faster response. Drone vs Drone operates at a radius of up to 1.5KM from the departure point. With high compatibility our system can connect to any anti-drone system, with the ability to autonomously launch additional drones as a failsafe or as a countermeasure for drone swarms. This multi-layered solution, meets the tactical requirements of different facilities: airports, critical infrastructures, government facilities, prisons and more.
